Letter from Washington.
W.su1saroN. Feb. 5. 1ss.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5, 1881
Dear Editor The women suffrag-
lists who met in convention have re-
tired like Cinderella to the ash cor
ner.
The pabtie receptions of Mrs.
Cleveland have been immensely at
tended. 80 Washington is flied with
strangers and everybody wants to see
the most beautiful lady in the land.
Mrs. Cievetand's complexion is of
an ivy tint, so rare that artists ad-
mire more than any other. She
shakes hands without glove and
smiles to- everybody and looks as if she
meant IL, sofha5 no lady occupying the
white house has ever been so much
admired. At one OF the recent re-
ceptions she, stood half an hour be-
yond the time, to give everybody 4
greeting. So much for our free in
Situations. In England to- see the
Queens horses you have to get aper-
nit and go through ali sorts of NON
sense to get access to her majesty's
stables The white house has sew
eral pets. Hector the black Russian
poodle sent Mrs. Cleveland from Eu-
rope has been consigned to the Pres
idcnt's curly-headed valet st. Glare.
One of Hector's frolics was to jump
in pool of water and then pillow up
the carpet in the cast room to dry
himself. Mrs. Cleveiand's favorite
now is marmoset about the size of
cat, and said to be harmless. 1t
was a present from the Russian Min
lister. 1t partakes of the character
istics of a squirrel, cat and monkey,
with something of an old woman face.
Jocko, as Mrs. Cleveland calls him, is
sometimes allowed to come out of his
nice case and roam around her bou-
doir. The President coming along,
and without noticing the intruder.
(for the President never looks DOWN
tramped on its tail. The bowling and
the kissing was continued and pro-
longed. but the President, with twist
of his face from his rheumatic knee.
put Jacko back into captivity, and
Mrs. Cleveland strokcd his soft fur,
saying poor Jocko. The other pets
are canary and q hooking bird,
which are now the property of the
White House, having been left there
by Mr.. Arthur. Among the photo
graphs of eminent men grouped
about the white house on mantels,
&C.. Bismarck seems to be the favor
lite with the President.
The sick list has been very full,
especially at the Treasury.

OBSERVER.

We notice in the Shepherdstown
Register the remark of your being an
ally of the Vest Virginia Democrat
(Mason's paper). You are known to
be an ally of the people, and when the
Register was conducted by Mr.. little
it was so considered. However, Sny-
der is good fellow, and when the
people consider that Mr.. Camden APP
pointed his brother and partner TO a
lucrative position under the govern
mcnt, they will pardon his interest in
this gentleman.

Editor Of Spirit Your paper was
read with much interest this week and
your discussion of the Senatorial
question was regarded as very fair.
We notice the Free Press alludes to
your endorsement of Lucas and Chew.
fou did; right. These gentlemen
were sent to the Legislature to rep
resent US, and they. are doing what
they think best for the good of the
party. These representatives were
elected with the understanding that
they were to do all in their power to
defeat Mr.. Camden, and they are doing
it. Mr.. Lucas comes of an old Dem
ocratic family, and he has been ear
nest in. his efforts for 80 years for
Democracy. He is intellectually the
peer of any man in the State, and he
is working for the people, not mo-
nopoly. Why should these y men,
representing the people, yield to mo-
nopoly. The time has come when
She people will be heard. Let mo-
nopoly take warning by the labor
strikes all over the country. West
Virginia can find some one else to
represent her than n representative
of the greatest monopoly in this land
1t was stated about year ago that
you could have obtained consider
able sum for the use of column of
your paper during the campaign in
the interest of a certain candidate and

And still the wonder grows why it was
that McConnaughey did not recognize
the fact that it would be better for the
ticket if the convention would distribute
the candidates over the different parts OF
the county" three or four weeks before
the convention met. 1t was just as Ger.

convention would nominate the Probate

Why, aren't you Democrat ?"
"To be certainly, but have known
Tom Watts all my life; I went to school
with him, and will just say this, that
never knew a whittier, or cleaner, or bet
ter man for any place than Mr.. Watts
He is not only nice man but compe-

county elect him they will make no
mistake"

you vote for him ?"

President Cleveland's owl train passed
through Ohio Friday night in safety
and in silence. "Not drum was heard
and the funeral notes" were kept in soak
until next fall. Ohio and Pennsylvania
do not need the Presidents attention.
They are solidly Republican anyhow
The train passed through Columbus in
the early dawn, but Mr.. Cleveland did
not deign even to glance at the hated
spot where Foraker resides. His first
stop was at Indianapolis, thence to Terra
Haute and st. Louis. Indiana will re-
ceive about six hours and Missouri, that
banner State of Democracy, about four
days. This is the first time Mr.. Cleve
land ever was as far west as the Indiana
State line, and though even now his
journey hardly extends third of the
way across the continent, he will doubt
less 60 back to Washington q much
wiser man in regard to the extent and
resources of the Great West.

Every farmer who thinks his tax is toe

Yes, it's the same old story that was

in the treasury, but he and his coal oil

taxes raised during his administration
and when he went out of Office he left
a debt of $65O,OOO for his successor to

economy.
What proof have we that the same
thing will not happen during Powell's
administration if the people should be
so foolish as to elect him? Have we
